Contraband Detection Market Survey

AGENCY: National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Justice.

ACTION: Notice of request for information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NIJ is soliciting information in support of the upcoming 
National Criminal Justice Technology Research, Test, and Evaluation 
Center (NIJ RT&E Center) ``Market Survey of Contraband Detection 
Technologies.'' This market survey, which will identify commercially 
available contraband detection systems for use in corrections 
facilities, will be published by NIJ to assist purchasing agents or 
other representatives of corrections facilities in their assessment of 
relevant information prior to making purchasing decisions. Comments 
with regard to the market survey itself, including which categories of 
information are appropriate for comparison, as well as promotional 
material (e.g., slick sheets) and print-quality images in electronic 
format, are also invited.

DATES: Responses to this request will be accepted through 11:59 p.m. 
Eastern Standard Time on February 15, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Responses to this request may be submitted electronically in 
the body of, or as an attachment to, an email sent to 
[email protected] with the recommended subject line 
``Contraband Federal Register Response.'' Questions and responses may 
also be sent by mail (please allow additional time for processing) to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Sought: Information is sought 
for an upcoming ``Market Survey of Contraband Detection Technologies,'' 
which seeks to identify commercially available contraband detection 
systems for use in corrections facilities. Applicable technologies 
should be capable of detecting contraband types in one or more of the 
following categories: (1) Weapons; (2) drug paraphernalia; (3) cell 
phones (or other mobile devices); and (4) forms of currency (e.g., 
money, stamps, etc.). In addition to these categories of contraband 
types, NIJ seeks to identify systems capable of detecting contraband 
under the following conditions: (1) Person-borne; (2) vehicle-borne; 
and (3) environmental.
    The person-borne category seeks to identify technology that is 
capable of detecting contraband concealed either on a person, or within 
body cavities. The vehicle-borne category seeks to identify technology 
that is capable of detecting contraband concealed in vehicles (e.g., 
passenger cars, delivery trucks, etc.) entering and leaving 
correctional facilities. Lastly, the environmental category seeks to 
identify technology that is capable of detecting contraband concealed 
in the environment (e.g., walls, furniture, etc.).
    Usage: This market survey will be published by NIJ to assist 
corrections agencies in their assessment of relevant information prior 
to making purchasing decisions.
